Synopsis

In "The Complete Tales & Poems of Edgar Allan Poe (Illustrated Edition)," readers are treated to a rich tapestry of gothic horror, existential dread, and romanticism that defines Poe's oeuvre. This comprehensive collection showcases his mastery of short fiction, evident in haunting tales such as "The Tell-Tale Heart" and "The Fall of the House of Usher," alongside his melancholic and often haunting poetry, including the iconic "The Raven." The illustrations accompanying the texts enhance the immersive experience, offering visual interpretations of Poe's deep psychological themes and striking imagery, thereby situating the work within the broader context of 19th-century American literature where gothic elements flourished. Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849) was a pivotal figure in American literature, often regarded as the father of the modern short story and a significant influence on the genres of horror and detective fiction. His tumultuous life, characterized by personal tragedy and financial hardship, deeply informed his writing. Poe's fascination with the macabre and the exploration of the human psyche emerged from his own experiences, as he grappled with themes of death, madness, and the search for beauty amid suffering. This illustrated edition is a must-read for enthusiasts of gothic literature, students of American literature, and anyone intrigued by the complexities of the human condition. Poe's work remains relevant, and this collection offers not only an accessible entry point into his genius but also a rich visual accompaniment that deepens one's appreciation of his extraordinary contributions to literature.

    Curious Case of Benjamin Button...

    F. Scott Fitzgerald created the novella "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" as a short story, originally published in Collier's magazine in 1922.  It tells the tale of Benjamin, son of Roger Button, who was born as an old man and who, over the course of his life, miraculously ages backwards. Beginning life as an octogenarian in his crib, Benjamin grows "older" while his body, conversely, appears younger and younger with each passing birthday. The story takes us through Benjamin's entire life; his difficult adolescence, his marriage, life as a soldier and father and, ultimately, his inevitable descent into infanthood.  At once hilarious, frightening and satiric, Fitzgerald's wonderful story has been adapted for both the stage and screen and is presented here in its original, unabridged format.

    There are worse things than death and they live between the worlds. 
     In a mixed-up trip where Wonderland meets hell, it’s survival of the fittest and having a shattered soul means it’s even harder to stay alive. In this alien landscape full of monsters there’s no rest and the chance of death is high. Not only are we hunted, but the threat of the void is always present. 
     After an attack, harsh realities pass Vincent’s lips leaving me conflicted about our future together and worried about my chances of survival. Closing myself off from him is supposed to prevent distractions while I search for perspective. Instead, it puts both of our lives at greater risk. 
     Can we work together long enough to make it home?
